Yusarn Audrey

What Yusarn Audrey does

Yusarn Audrey is a Singapore-headquartered intellectual property strategy and law firm founded in 1999, operating as Yusarn Audrey LLC. The firm delivers professional legal services across four core practice areas: Intellectual Property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, trade secrets, domain names, IP litigation, due diligence, financing, and technology licensing), Corporate & Commercial Law (business structuring, M&A, franchising, joint ventures, private equity/venture investments, employment, media & entertainment, and cryptocurrency/blockchain matters), Litigation & Dispute Resolution (arbitration, mediation, civil/commercial litigation, and IP/patent litigation), and IP Strategy & Management (IP audits, due diligence, innovation and technology roadmaps, IP holding structures, IP business modeling, IP intelligence and analysis, IP governance, and IP financing). It also operates the Yusarn Audrey IP Academy, an educational platform for IP training and workshops.

The firm's underlying capability is human expertise: a team of IP, corporate, dispute resolution, and patent professionals operating as a single integrated unit around the goal of creating, protecting, and realizing value from clients' IP assets. Its technology footprint is conventional professional services delivery rather than proprietary software, with no AI/ML or platform products disclosed. The firm holds wholly-owned regional entities in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) and Thailand (Bangkok), a cooperation partnership with Gorriceta Africa Couton & Saavedra in the Philippines, and a strategic cooperation with European IP firm Bardehle Pagenberg, providing coverage across ASEAN and Europe.

Yusarn Audrey's business model is professional services fee-for-engagement, with revenue derived from IP prosecution, IP and commercial litigation, IP strategy consulting, and corporate/commercial advisory billed against scope, complexity, and seniority. It serves entrepreneurial growth businesses and enterprise clients (with a visible concentration in Singapore F&B and consumer brands such as BreadTalk, Ya Kun, Soup Restaurant, Brotzeit, and FarEastFlora), as well as startups (including deep tech ventures via the Leave A Nest partnership), research institutions, universities, and government agencies and statutory boards. Client acquisition combines direct professional referral networks, content marketing (LinkedIn, newsletters, publications), and industry event participation (notably INTA conferences), rather than mass-market distribution.
